LONDON. Aug. 12. The Berlin correspondent of the “jDailv News” soys the news that a. British regiment is participating in the French cava lacy manoeuvres in the occupied area has startled German opinion. , . “It may be true that the British a-rni-v of occupation acted only according’ to military tenets,” says the “Frankfurter Zeitung,’’ “but the Government in London ought to liave understood that such eo-operation between British and French troops on German soil cannot fail to have political reactions.” The “Votssische Zeitung” -says: “It is incomprehensible that neither Paris nor London recognises the enormity of this action. It is a. blow at the policy of Locarno, and makes a nnock of the solemnity with which it is intended to surround the signing of the anti-war pact in Paris. They ought to understand tliat as Long as the Allied generals in the Rhineland are permitted to double-cross the policy of their Governments there can be no idea of mutual understanding.”
